Epic Games acquired Bandcamp.Well, that is shitty. Can no company be left alone without becoming part of a strategy for a larger company?
In Epic, we’ve found a partner who believes as deeply as we do that the future of music, and art itself
The Fortnite guys?!
I'd like to think things are going to be OK, but a big corporation doesn't do an acquisition without plans to do something with that acquisition, and those plans seem incredibly likely to be stupid.
And if it doesn't work out? It's a small loss for Epic, while Bandcamp's most important assets are destroyed: Its straightforwardness and its reputation.
